What should be the SLURM_INCLUDE_DIR in this case, where lib is SLURM_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/slurm-wlm.

Hi @rohithmn01

you also need to install the Slurm development headers, which should be included in the package libslurm-dev in Ubuntu. After this, they should be discovered during install.
